I'm smack in the middle of a Buick V6 conversion into my 75 914. It is a V3800 out of 1988 Olds Delta 88, front wheel drive car. Lots of problems because of my choice of engine, but I am going with it in spite of those problems (like a dsitributorless engine, serpintine belt system I can't use, headers are a problem to find, and engine mounting bolt locations on the engine are not symetrical). I'm dumping the V3800 FI in favor of an Edelbrock manifold and Holley 4bbl carb. The V6 to Porsche transaxle adapter is on order from Kennedy Engineering. Everything else I'll figure out myself.
I am sick and tired of the perpetual type 4 oil leaker that breaks continually, which is my reason for going the Buick V6 route. My suggestions, after my recent experience, would be to go with a 78 to 82 Buick even fire V6 engine with a distributor and real V belts for driving the water pump and alternator. Of course, the newer Buick V6 front wheel drive engines have better heads (better flow) and other features to recommend them, but require additional considerations and cost. That's my story. Don |
